ABSTRACT
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a multisystem disease mainly caused by pathogenic mutation of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conduction regulator gene.In recent years, with the deepened understanding of the disease and the popularization of gene detection technology, an increasing number of children are diagnosed with CF in China.Lung involvement is reported to affect the prognosis of the disease.Lung involvement is closely related to the airway, and good airway management can prolong the life of children.In this paper, the selection of airway clearance techniques and inhaled drugs were expounded, so as to improve the long-term airway management of children with CF in China.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the effect of RNA interference silencing telomere repeat factor 2 by observing Hep-2 cells' proliferation and apoptosis in larynx carcinoma cell line.@*METHOD@#A recombinant plasmid containing a single shRNA (shTRF2) was constructed. The expression of TRF2 gene was detected by PCR and cell proliferation was examined using CCK-8. Hep-2 cells' apoptosis was detected by flow cytometer (FCM).@*RESULT@#After treatment with shTRF2, the expression of TRF2 was distinctively depressed, and Hep-2 cells proliferation was obviously inhibited. Compared with control and negative group, cells with treatment of RNAi exhibited significantly more apoptosis.@*CONCLUSION@#Using RNA interference technique to silence TRF2 gene is effective on inhibiting cancer cells' proliferation and help to induce cancer cells' apoptosis.
